💡 Power from the Sea? A Colombian startup turns saltwater into electricity! Just 500ml can: 🌊 Light a lamp for 45 days 🔌 Charge phones via USB ♻️ Run 5,600 hours — fully recyclable Science made simple: saltwater + magnesium + copper → clean, fuel-free, silent energy. Impact: 🏝️ Light for coastal & island communities 🚨 Emergency power in disasters 🌍 Safe, off-grid energy for all The ocean has always given life. Now, it gives light. #cleanenergy #climatetech #renewables #innovations #saltwaterpower #sustainability #techforgood Credit: Harald Friedl

The facts on why electricity bills in South East Queensland are likely to go down this year by 10%. I mean this is some classy spin by Crisafulli that would rival some of our greatest bowlers! Had to call it out! 🧐 #renewables #electricity #lnp #qld #Labor

Sir David Attenborough supports Shrek cars 🚗 💨 In a recent interview the esteemed documentarian shared his support for using ogre gas as a renewable energy source. If Shrek farts are clean, reliable, and green. Everything we’re looking for. #renewables #shrek

Present for Donald 😅 Greenpeace activists have just turned Trump’s golf course into a wind farm to protest the energy crisis triggered by his illegal war with Iran. Trump has tanked the world economy, sending energy prices soaring and is now pressuring the UK government to drill for more fossil fuels in the North Sea. New drilling will benefit nobody but his Big Oil backers who donated $96 million to his re-election campaign. It’s a con. We need homegrown, clean energy like solar and wind that ISN’T at the mercy of Trump’s illegal wars and WON’T just profit his Big Oil billionaire mates. Tell the government should stand up to Trump by doubling down on renewables NOW. Take action 👉 link in bio. #Trump #Golf #Iran #Renewables #ClimateCrisis

While the US doubles down on fossil fuels, China is building the most impressive renewable energy portfolio in the world. Cyrus Janssen says China is now the undisputed world leader in renewable energy. #Heat #China #hydrodam #renewables

Feeling sassy today. Let me know your thoughts. Do you live near a wind turbine? Do you work on them? Would love to know your thoughts xx #Renewables #RenewableEnergy

The southern German village of Wildpoldsried amazingly produces over eight times the energy it consumes through wind, solar, and biogas - CGTN’s Natalie Carney pays this remarkable community a visit to find out how. ⁣ ⁣ While tensions in the Middle East begin to squeeze everyday consumers - residents of Wildpoldsried have swerved rising utility bills and gained energy independence, along with dividends from clean, renewable power.⁣ ⁣ #Wildpoldsried #Germany #Bavaria #Green #Energy #Renewables #Biogas #Solar #Wind

Wind turbines depend heavily on oil-industry products long before they ever generate “clean” energy. Modern turbines require large volumes of lubricating oil and hydraulic fluids to keep gearboxes, bearings, and control systems running under extreme loads. Without these petroleum-based lubricants, friction, heat, and mechanical stress would quickly damage key components.  Oil also plays a role in manufacturing, where turbine blades rely on polymer resins and composites derived from petrochemicals, and large-scale production still depends on fossil-fuel-intensive materials and processes.  The result is a paradox of the energy transition: renewable power technologies often rely on the very industries they aim to replace. #Energy #Renewables #OilIndustry #WindPower #EnergyTransition

Chris Bowen treats the Integrated System Plan as the source of truth on how to most efficiently power the nation into the future. But it’s fatally flawed, argues John Rolfe.⁠ ⁠ 🔗Click on the story link in our bio for more⁠ ⁠ #Energycrisis #energypolicy #chrisbowen #renewables #nswgovernment
